Lower-limb prosthesis designed to support walking after an amputation through the knee joint
The custom-made knee disarticulation prosthesis is intended for people who have undergone an amputation through the knee joint. It is designed to support standing, assist with everyday movement and encourage a gradual return to walking according to each person’s abilities and needs.
A knee disarticulation prosthesis is designed to replace the lower limb following an amputation performed through the knee joint.
It is custom-made to fit the shape of the residual limb, the user’s level of mobility, daily activities and personal goals.
Its design may include a personalised socket, a prosthetic knee joint, connecting components and a prosthetic foot. Each component is selected according to the person’s needs, balance, mobility and living environment.
Preserving the end of the femur may provide a suitable weight-bearing surface. However, precise socket fitting remains essential to provide comfort, stability and appropriate support during movement.
At OrthoGreen Mobility, an orthopaedic centre and bandagist in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels, we support you throughout the design, fitting, adjustment and follow-up of your knee disarticulation prosthesis.
